On November 7, 2017, voters here in Fort Collins, Colorado passed measure 2B, which allowed the city to move forward with creating a publicly-owned broadband utility. Despite nearly unprecedented spending by lobbying groups fronted by telecom companies, the measure passed with 57% of the vote. As this is being recorded in August 2019, we're mere days away from the first customers being serviced by the utility, now known as Fort Collins Connexion.In this special preview episode of an upcoming NoCo FM show, host Chris Lanphear sat down with Colin Garfield and Glen Akins of Fort Collins Citizen Broadband Committee, which spearheaded the effort to bring municipal broadband to Fort Collins.Colin Garfield and Broadband & Beers: https://twitter.com/ConnexionFC (https://twitter.com/ConnexionFC) Support this podcast

Exclusive Interview with Black Mountain @ UMS 2019

In January 2019, we set out to discover what is the worst song of all time? We solicited submissions for weeks from listeners on Corbin vs. The World and in Seattle at PodCon. We whittled the submissions down to 64 songs to create a March Madness-style tournament bracket upon which only one would survive, as voted upon by our listeners on social media.The, uh, winner (?) would be played on a 24-hour loop on the NoCo FM live stream on April Fool's Day and then never played again. As we got further into the tournament, we realized that we couldn't stop at just one song as there are just too many terrible songs out there. We decided to settle on the top 12 songs based on votes, ranked by NoCo music director and prankster prince Corbin David Albaugh. This special aired for 24 hours straight on NoCo FM on April 1, 2019.Who made the cut? Is Billy Ray Cyrus on there? What about Rick Astley?
